§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is the estimated date of commencing work on the Porthmadog bypass on the A487 trunk road; and what is the target date for opening this road.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsThe scheme is shown in the 1993 supplement to "Roads in Wales" as unlikely to begin before April 1999. It will take about two years to complete. My right hon. Friend is reviewing strategic road needs in Wales and is considering the scope for bringing forward the more important improvements.
